1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to improvements in detachable handles for shopping bags, packages and also for articles of fiat formation such as panes of glass, boards and the like, One of the principal objects of the invention is the provision of an article of this character which is of simple, efiicient, durable and inexpensive construction and which may be adjustable to various lengths for accommodating various articles to be carried.

These and other objects will appear as my invention is more fully hereinafter described in the following specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and finally pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a handle made in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a modified form of the invention.

Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on the line 3-3 ofjigure 4.

Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of means for adjusting the length of the, legs of the handle.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 55 of Figure 6.

Figure 6 is a modified form of leg-adjusting means.

.While I have shown a particular form of embodiment of my invention, I am aware that many minor changes therein will readily suggest themselves to others skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

A carrier handle consisting of bail member having inwardly turned portions at its uppermost end and removably engaged with a handle, the opposite endv of the bail member being turned back on itself for a portion of its length, each leg portion of said bail member being made of two aligned parts adjustably and lockably attached 'to each other.
